Cassette display viewer device

Abstract

A cassette guiding member 20a of a cassette inserting slot 37 is provided with a slope 24 as a notch to enable viewing a label on the cassette when the cassette is loaded into the product. A first cassette door 50 is rotatably mounted to the cassette inserting slot 37 and is provided with a transparent part 50a to enable viewing of the cassette back label 11 via the above slope 24. In addition, a second cassette door 51 is rotatably mounted at the back of the first cassette door 50. The second cassette door 51 opens in association with the first cassette door 50 by engaging with it and bears a display mark 51a related to the product on the surface. Thus, the label 11 on the cassette can be seen easily through the transparent part 50a without pressing or opening the first cassette door 50 even after cassette loading, and the external light is obstructed by the second cassette door 51 for stable product performance. Viewing capability of the display mark 51a via the transparent part 50a even when the cassette is loaded improves the function and achieves optimum product appearance.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A cassette display viewer device, comprising: a cassette bearing a label on one side,   a housing having a cassette inserting slot and accommodating the cassette inserted via the cassette inserting slot at a predetermined position inside,   a first cassette door provided at said cassette inserting slot which is at least partially formed with a transparent member and designed to open when said cassette is inserted and to close to cover said cassette inserting slot when said cassette is or is not contained inside of said housing and constructed to enable viewing of the label on said cassette through said transparent member part when said cassette is contained in said housing, and   a second cassette door located at a position further in said housing than said first cassette door which is formed with an opaque member and designed to open together with said first cassette door when said cassette is inserted, to open up to a position in which the label on said cassette is viewable through said transparent part of said first cassette door when the cassette is at said predetermined position in said housing, and to be opposed at least to the transparent part of said first cassette door when said cassette is not in said housing.   
     
     
       2. A cassette display viewer device, comprising: a cassette bearing a label on one side,   an inserting slot for said cassette provided at the product housing,   a cassette holder provided in said housing which accepts said cassette inserted via said cassette inserting slot with its face bearing said label faced toward the cassette inserting slot at a first position, moves horizontally and then goes down vertically to transfer said accepted cassette to a second position, that is, a predetermined position in said housing, and which rises vertically from said second position, moves horizontally and transfers said cassette to said first position,   a guiding member provided between said cassette inserting slot and said cassette holder in said housing to guide said cassette to be inserted to said cassette holder at said first position having a notch so as to expose the label face of said cassette to said cassette inserting slot when said cassette holder containing said cassette is at said second position,   a first cassette door provided at said cassette inserting slot which is at least partially formed with a transparent member and designed to open when said cassette is inserted and to close to cover said cassette inserting slot when said cassette is or is not contained inside of said housing and thus constructed to enable viewing of said label on said cassette through said transparent member part when said cassette holder containing the cassette is at said second position, and   a second cassette door located at a position further in said housing than said first cassette door which is formed with an opaque member and designed to open together with said first cassette door when said cassette is inserted, to open up to a position in which said label on said cassette is viewable through said transparent part of said first cassette door when said cassette holder containing said cassette is at said second position, and to be opposed at least to said transparent part of said first cassette door when said cassette is not in said housing.   
     
     
       3. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 2, wherein said second cassette door is designed to be in contact with a top of said cassette when said cassette holder containing the cassette is at said predetermined position in said housing. 
     
     
       4. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 2, wherein said second cassette door is designed to be in contact with a top of said cassette when said cassette holder containing the cassette is at said second position. 
     
     
       5. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 1, wherein said second cassette door is bearing display or indication related to the product on its face opposed to said first cassette door. 
     
     
       6. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 2, wherein said second cassette door is bearing display or indication related to the product on its face opposed to said first cassette door. 
     
     
       7. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 1, wherein said second cassette door is bearing display with symbols or marks on its face opposed to said first cassette door. 
     
     
       8. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 1, wherein the transparent part area of said first cassette door is formed corresponding to the label application area on said cassette. 
     
     
       9. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 2, wherein the transparent part area of said first cassette door is formed corresponding to the label application area on said cassette. 
     
     
       10. A cassette display viewer device according to claim 2, wherein said notch in said guiding member is formed to be a slope going down toward inside of said housing.
